Yuulin is still stunned for how can she be Ki Gaku’s wife..that
guy who told her before that she still has that ugly face since this morning.
Snapping out of it, Yuulin shouts why it became like this. Ignoring her, Granny
says, “It has already been arranged when the wedding is going to be held! Ah,
of course, I’m going to arrange everything so you don’t have to worry about
anything! Besides, it is the wedding of our family’s important grandson so of
course it will be done in a grand way!!” While granny is telling Yuulin about
the other things she has to remember, Yuulin is freaking out that granny is
totally letting what she [Yuulin] said pass through her other ear. Someone
tells granny to wait a bit about that. It is Reishou who is carrying a small
basket of food. As Reishou gives the food to Seishin as gift, granny asks who
he is. Reishou tells her that Yuulin works at his department. “..It appears
that Yuulin is not feeling too well so is it okay if I talk on her behalf?” Yuulin
is still speechless and confused. Granny asks if it is about Yuulin’s cleaning
job at the palace. “..About that job, I’m going to make her resign as soon as
possible so this has nothing to do with you.” Reishou whispers something to
granny which surprises her. Reishou smiles and tells her that they go out for a
while to chat a bit. Granny angrily backs away and goes out of the house. The
siblings are puzzled speechless over it. Just as Reishou is going out, he turns
around and asks, “By the way, does Yuulin want to become Gaku’s wife?” Shaking her
head and body, Yuulin says absolutely not. “But, about that..” Reishou tells
her that she looks pale and she needs more sleep. “..no need to worry, I won’t
say anything that will cause you trouble.” This made Yuulin blush and she
timidly says okay. After a while, Seishin tells Yuulin that it is amazing
because afterwards, granny immediately left. Seishin also says that Reishou
told him that Yuulin should rest some more and he’ll explain things tomorrow
since they still have other things to discuss. Yuulin wonders what now, she
obviously wanted to quickly get well but she feels light-headed and it is
definitely because of that strange dream. On the second day, gloomy Gaku says
that is impossible for why would he marry a child who doesn’t have any cute
side. Gloomy Yuulin says that it is absolutely impossible, marrying a loan
shark, this kind of scoundrel who can be said as the most awful among humans.
Gaku angrily shouts that too much, you woman. Yuulin shouts back, that is what
she wanted to say. A note says that after the fever left, she felt a bit uneasy
so she went to the restaurant and bumped into Gaku. That light-headed feeling
is also gone. Gaku shouts by the way, how come that guy got involved in this
thing. Embarrassed Yuulin exclaims that is why she said that he [Reishou] is a
very friendly[/gracious] person. Gaku shouts back that there is no such
friendly person and she is definitely being deceived. This made Yuulin furious.
At the side, some customers are telling Meigyoku what
happened to the gambling bet, isn’t it already been decided that it is Gaku.
Meigyoku says no, until they get married, it isn’t decided. Kokuu goes in the
restaurant and says that it is quite lively here. He calls out to Yuulin to
talk with her for a while. Yuulin says okay, she’ll go. Gaku angrily scolds her
to wait, how can she just easy go with that man. Yuulin scolds him that he
isn’t a bad person. “It’s really alright!” Gaku just goes ‘hmph’ for she is
really too trusting. The customers start saying that there is now a third man [to
the love triangle] and how Gaku can just let her go with that man. Gaku shouts
at them to quit gambling on Yuulin, and don’t involve him in that. Gaku’s
servant thinks that Gaku’s personality is quite a disadvantage when he
obviously wanted to protect Yuulin. Behind some of the stores, Kokuu apologizes
to Yuulin for what happened before because he is doing investigations so he has
to pretend to be like the others. He tells her that he is originally some sort
of soldier and he heard that she is a cleaning lady at the palace. He
apologizes again for he was investigating her because he thought she is part of
the Ki household. She asks if it is related to His Majesty and something like
how the people evaluate him. Kokuu says that is right, this time around, he is
investigating the source of the bad gossip about His Majesty and the Queen
Consort that has been circulating in the town. That includes the Ki family’s
Big Store. Kokuu sheepishly tells her that he really didn’t think that while he
is on duty, that person himself would show up, and that person is really quite
bad. And, just like before, he [Reishou] really likes to probe out other
people. Yuulin thinks that at that time, she felt that this person and His
Majesty are close to each other and His Majesty’s goal is actually to come and
see this person. Then, Yuulin notices that Kokuu is staring at her that she
asks him what it is. Kokuu comments that that even if it is a bit unexpected
but it isn’t bad. Yuulin is puzzled. Getting ready to leave, Kokuu happily
tells her that from her standpoint, it is very difficult but he will silently
support the Downtown Akujo-sama [bad woman/femme fatale]. “I’ll leave that stuff
to you. ..do not lose to the Harem’s Akujo!” Yuulin realizes that Kokuu misunderstood
things for he thinks that Reishou is having an affair with her. Just when
Yuulin tries to protest, Kokuu tells her that a woman can cause a disaster to
the king and besides, for the most part, those women are unhappy. “..you won’t
be called as ‘the one who made the king fall from grace’, right?” Yuulin is
speechless over that. In Yuulin’s house, Reishou happily tells her that in
conclusion, she doesn’t have to go work as a maid anymore. Yuulin exclaims
that’s quick so what did he do to convince granny. Reishou says that actually,
about granny’s injury, that is a lie. Yuulin is surprised that she asks, what.
Reishou says that it is true that Yuulin’s father bumped into granny and when they
had it examined at that time, it was determined that it is a minor injury that
only requires her to wear bandages. There is a flashback of granny shouting at
Yuulin’s father that it hurts, it hurts and raised a ruckus about it.
It just so happen that granny is thinking of the issue about
his grandson’s [future] wife and she thought of Yuulin because after all, they
are childhood friends. Deciding to use this opportunity, granny called her here
and deliberately made things hard for Yuulin. Actually, she wants to see
whether Yuulin has the qualifications to become her daughter-in-law. Yuulin
couldn’t believe it. Trembling, she says that means..no matter how much she
strived hard, it is impossible for her to attain forgiveness. Reishou says that
is right, and not only that, granny is riding on Yuulin’s conscience to make
her the wife of her grandson. “See? *smiles* Aren’t the people in this world
wolves?” Yuulin is aghast. She falls on her knees in disbelief for what is all
those hard work for. Reishou says, “Yuulin, you can depend more on others.
..you can depend on me. Making others think of wanting to help you, I think it
is the power that you possess.” Yuulin lovingly looks at Reishou who reaches
his hand to her face. She thinks that starting from that time [Reishou hugging her
tight], she feels light-headed as if she’ll fall but.. Yuulin snaps out of it
and says that she’ll be going to granny. This surprises Reishou. Yuulin tells
him that about the marriage, she’ll personally go and refuse it. Frowning
Reishou says that that issue has already been resolved and he thinks that even
if she goes, she will only be scolded. Yuulin protests that it is her own
problem so she’ll go resolve it on her own. Reishou somewhat smiles and asks if
in the end, getting help from ‘someone’ is no good at all. Yuulin exclaims that
it isn’t like that at all. “Because I’m very weak, if I rely on His Majesty and
be pampered by Your Majesty, I’ll easily fall. –but, I want to become the
person who has enough power to support you during your time of distress. So, I
cannot be light-headed. As much as possible, with regards with my own issues,
I’ll do it on my own! Thank you very much.” With that, Yuulin goes out of the
house. Reishou starts laughing and says that for her to be pampered by him, it
is only for a moment, it is very short, like a dream. And, afterwards, Yuulin
provoked the anger of granny once again, for some reason that she doesn’t know.
Of course, granny totally didn’t have any remorse about deceiving Yuulin yet
Granny continued being angry. Granny is furious that Yuulin doesn’t want to be
Gaku’s wife, it is such a waste, and what’s the use of being skilled as a
cleaning lady. Narration: “However, in the end, because of that conversation with
His Majesty, there is no longer any more troublesome situation. Finally, it is
all okay. Since then, I’ve been liberated from a maid’s life.” Reishou happily
says that finally Yuulin can go back to being a Queen Consort. In a really good
mood complete with wagging tail, puppy Reishou says that in the end, dirty
tricks-whatever can cause pain to one’s heart and it is still better to be
nice. Following him behind, Yuulin gloomily thinks that no matter which one [as
Queen or herself], she is being pampered and she really has to pull herself
together. “..could it be that is just a dirty trick[/bullying] on the stubborn
me? *blushing* But, I’m on vacation from working as a Queen Consort, so there’s
no need to act like a married couple. –No, that is definitely ..just a dream
right?” It turns out that while they were hugging from before, Reishou had
tenderly kissed her on the face. ^^
Comment: Hehe,
Yuulin got some lovey-dovey in this arc but since she is feverish, she thought
it was just a dream. Just as I thought, granny wants her to be Gaku’s wife. I
didn’t expect her though to pretend to be gravely injured to trick Yuulin. If
Reishou wasn’t there to help her, even if it is against her will, she would
have really married Gaku. I wonder if Gaku would agree given that kind of
circumstance. I like Yuulin’s belief on not wanting to be pampered but rather,
be his support which meant to be more or less at his level = strong enough to
help him out. Hmm..would that just be emotional support or really help him out?
For now, it seems to be the former since she is still weak in a way that how
things work out is still very dependent on Reishou. And, really helping him
out, I’m not sure he would accept it either since it would seem that he isn’t a
capable king. As for Kokuu, it does seem that like Dai, he goes way back with
Reishou. I’m curious what’s the deal between him and Dai since Dai seems to
look antagonistic towards him. The gamble bet thing on whom Yuulin would end up
with is amusing. It is also that Kokuu doesn’t knowing that the Downtown Akujo
and Harem Akujo is one and the same. =P Scans by 狼陛下汉化組.
